Top 10 Foods to Feed or Avoid for Your Cat: Tips for Owners

Hello, dear readers! Nutrition is vital for your cat's health. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, owners feed their pets from the table, not realizing the potential dangers. Here’s a list of safe and unsafe foods for your feline friend.

✅ Safe Foods:

1. Boiled chicken (no salt or spices): Easily digestible protein, great for sensitive stomachs.
2. Beef (cooked): A source of iron and amino acids.
3. Boiled carrots and pumpkin: In small amounts, they aid digestion.
4. Rice and buckwheat: Cooked, safe grains (without oil or salt).
5. Low-fat cottage cheese: Provides calcium and protein, but only in moderation if there’s no allergy.

❌ Unsafe Foods:

1. Raw bones and fish: Risk of injury, parasites, and vitamin B1 deficiency.
2. Milk: Most adult cats are lactose intolerant, leading to diarrhea.
3. Onions and garlic: Even small amounts can cause anemia.
4. Chocolate and coffee: Contain theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to cats.
5. Sausages and smoked meats: Salt, spices, and preservatives can harm the liver and kidneys.

Tips:

• Avoid feeding your cat from the table.
• Always provide fresh water.
• Introduce new foods gradually, watching for reactions.
